Federal judge upholds Colorado gun laws, dismisses lawsuit
MSN ^ | June 27, 2014 | Reuters

A federal judge upheld gun laws on Thursday introduced by Colorado in the wake of deadly shooting rampages there and in Connecticut, dismissing a lawsuit brought by sheriffs, gun shops, outfitters and shooting ranges.

The two laws, passed in 2013 by Colorado's Democratic-controlled legislature with scant Republican support, banned ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds and required background checks for all private gun sales and transfers.

After a two-week civil trial, U.S. District Chief Judge Marcia Krieger ruled the lawsuit lacked standing and said no evidence had been produced which showed limiting magazines to 15 rounds seriously diminished the ability to defend oneself.

The decision is at the District Court level, the lowest level in the federal system. It can be appealed to a Circuit Court, but they are just as hostile to the right to keep and bear arms as the lower courts are, maybe moreso.

If one has to submit to a government interrogation to exercise their 2nd amendment right, what makes these nuts think the natural extension doesn’t include a speech and a religion implementation license?

Kreiger’s been on my list since 2013 along with the rest of the anti-2A congresscritters to vote out of office.

Anyone who wants the list, please let me know and I’ll put it on this thread.

This is a good thing, actually really good. Now the governor has to defend signing the bill into law.

The idiot is running for reelection, isn't he?

Judges have ruled many despicable things constitutional before, yet many of those things are no longer legal. This is not the end.

We cannot depend on the judiciary to protect our rights. The only answer is defeating legislators who violate them.

_____________________________________________________________________

“False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that it has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are of such a nature. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
Cesare Beccaria On Crimes and Punishments
